Ooooh Spooooky!

I realize that Halloween is more than a month away. However, we have recently discovered some very strange phenomenon in our house that clearly can only be explained by extra terrestrial occurrences.

• The day after doing ALL the laundry in the house ( including towels and sheets), I entered the laundry room to find piles of dirtly clothing
• Ayala rule #1 NO EATING OR DRINKING IN LIVING ROOM- yet, mysteriously melted ice cream was found under the couch.
• Early this week when doing the girls' hair before school, I could not find the red comb ANYWHERE! Yet, noone removed it from it's usual living space in the cabinet.
• I opened the pantry cupboard door a few weeks ago and found the bag of potato chips I had just bought the day before completely empty- yet, not a single member of our family ate any of them.
• Before school started, I bought each of the girls MANY pairs of new socks yet, each morning when getting ready for school they claim they do not have them anymore.

Perhaps we have a clothes wearing, ice cream eating, comb stealing, potato chip sneaking, sock obsessed monster in the house, I suggested.

"Mom!" , said Jennifer, " Everyone knows there is no such thing as monsters. But, fairies.. now THAT's another story."
